Outwardly (as in the mounting position), yes (same goes for 98-99 Blade, CBR600F4i, 2003-2004 CBR600RR). There are different piston size combos, however.

Hi, if you are going to fit them to firestorm forks you need to file them slightly to fit.

I thought the standard brakes were crap when I got the bike but when in good order (check) and the forks are sprung correctly then they are simply superb.Fork set up really affects how well you can brake.

I did all that and they are still crap. When you get a set of the bigger brakes off the 600 and the correct master cyl there is a big improvement.oldbikeman wrote:I thought the standard brakes were crap when I got the bike but when in good order (check) and the forks are sprung correctly then they are simply superb.Fork set up really affects how well you can brake.
Yes they need a little bid of metal shaved off to fit the storm,but that is all and then it bolts on and still looks Honda.

you have to remember i've already fitted cbr954 forks and 330mm discs so i'm thinking the sp calipers should be a straight fit.

Then they will fit straight from the box.
But you have to remember to fit the matching master cylinder to get the braking performance you want
